Haven't gotten it yet. What about you? Have you used it yet? Samples??

A few people in the Coral Painter newsgroups are not happy with it.

Some people find it very slow on their machines. The watercolor
brushes are "animated" ... meaning that the pixels are pushed
around as you stroke and thus the machines have to do a lot of
work to try and keep up, many fail.

Me either. I have 6 and wanted to see samples of 7.
Their web site is not very informative, and I can see enough to know if I
would like it.
Little pricey to buy blindly. I'll let you know if I find anyone using it.
So far zilch.

I still think Painter 5 is the best. Why'd they ruin it this time around??

Don't know why it was decided to ruin it. I have 5.5 and 6 on my
machine and use them, but I don't think I will be upgrading.

Why do you keep both versions, if I may ask, Mike? Different file formats?
I still remember the problems with PageMaker so to open the different jobs
created you needed the right version as the newer didn't do it...I did love
QuarkXPress only for that feature...and I've used PageMaker since v. 1.0
through 5.01...

File formats is one reason for keeping 6. Another is that I am
more familiar with and like better -- the interface to 5.5. I
like some of the text things that you can do with 6.0 so I keep
it on the machine. But I use 5.5 for most of the work I do for logos.

So, I wasn't so far away, then...did the interface change a lot AFTER Corel
took over? I'm not very familiar with the program, and I haven't seen it
after v. 2.0 in the Mac...it feels like ages ago! <g>

I don't like the interface of 6.0 and above. If a person has two
monitors running and can have all the little windows open on one
screen and work on the other screen it might be ok, but if you
have to have all that crap on one screen it is just too crowded.

I am not sure who owned the software at the time, but 6.0 was the
point that the interface changed for the worse.

Now with 7.0 and the slowness of the software ... they have
really messed up the program.

Well, that's disappointing to hear. Maybe there is an option to disable that
animation. [?] It looked pretty good on their web site with all the new
features and more readable palettes. Still like to try it though.
Ah well...maybe wait for version 8.

chero,
Yes, I was relunctant to buy it, too, without getting some feedback first, but
I'm still using version 4 so version 7 sounded pretty good, heh. Maybe we
should monitor the Corel/Painter groups for a while.

Illustrator 9. I wish I could say I knew it better then I do.
Procreate's web page has some examples that I thought looked great. Now I'm
disappointed it's not 'all that'. <g>

Corel took over MetaCreations when Painter reached v. 5.0, I think... so
Corel upgraded the 5.0 to 6.0 and changed the interface in
7.0...hmmm...Corel's guilt is written all over to me...<g>

Actually, Corel took over Painter just after Metacreations released v. 6, so
they are not responsible for changing the interface.
